Arianna: I can’t believe McCain said AQI is being trained in Iran Syria

Goldfarb spots a gaffe about a gaffe: Wasn’t it Iran, not Syria, that McCain claimed was an AQI training ground before correcting himself? So it was, my friends, so it was. What are we to make of this error, which isn’t the first mistake Arianna’s made in her haste to demagogue the hell out of a Republican candidate? Typo — or profoundly significant revelation about the startling ignorance of one of the web’s power players on all matters Middle Eastern? What would the left say? Or rather, what would the left say if they weren’t desperately trying to gin up a “scandal” out of an innocent mistake to draw the media’s attention away from St. Barack’s coziness with the good Rev. Wright?
